The trajectory of an angular particle as it cuts a ductile target is, in general, complicated because of its dependence not only on particle shape, but also on particle orientation at the initial instant of impact. This orientation dependence has also made experimental measurement of impact parameters of single angular particles very difficult, resulting in a relatively small amount of available experimental data in the literature. The current work is focused on obtaining measurements of particle kinematics for comparison to rigid plastic model developed by Papini and Spelt. Fundamental mechanisms of material removal are identified, and measurements of rebound parameters and corresponding crater dimensions of single hardened steel particles launched against flat aluminium alloy targets are presented. Also a 2-D finite element model is developed and a dynamic analysis is performed to predict the erosion mechanism. Overall, a good agreement was found among the experimental results, rigid-plastic model predictions and finite element model predictions.

The electromechanical properties of a newly proposed 3-dimensional piezoelectric actuator have been investigated. Especially, the effects of 3-dimensional geometry on the maximum tip displacement were carefully investigated. As a result, it was found that the maximum strain of the 3-dimensional piezoelectric device was significantly enhanced up to 4.5 times higher than that of a disk shape device. This data was in good agreement with the finite element model analysis of strains and vibration modes. Moreover, the field -induced displacement stability of dome-shaped 3- dimensional piezoelectric actuator at various ac freguencies was superior to Rainbow actuator.

The soccer ball is one of the important pieces of equipment in the game of soccer. It undergoes various forms of impact during the game. In order to numerically investigate the occasions of ball impact such as soccer heading, a validated finite element model of a soccer ball is required. Therefore, a model was developed incorporating material properties obtained from literature. To ensure the accuracy of the model, it was validated against an established soccer ball model and experimental data of the coefficient of restitution, contact time, longitudinal deformation and reaction force. In addition, a parametric study of the mesh density was also performed to determine the optimal number of elements. The developed soccer ball model was found to be in a good agreement with the literature and experimental data. This suggests that, the soccer ball model is capable of replicating the impacts of interest. This article details the development of the model and the validation processes.

AbstractA two—dimensional finite element model was developed to study the step coverage of submicron trenches with arbitrary shape under chemical vapor deposition processes. Parameters that characterize the step coverage were found to be the surface Damkohler number, ratio of diffusion coefficients inside and outside of the trench, and aspect ratio of the trench geometry. Efforts were concentrated on studying the step coverage of SiO2 film deposited from SiH4/O2 precursors within rectangular shape trenches. The model predictions were found to be in good agreement with reported experimental results.

A study was conducted to assess the robustness of a plane strain finite element model that was developed to simulate plate shearing using the Cockroft-Latham fracture criterion and element deletion. Model predictions for blade gap, ductility and edge wear were compared with published experimental results. Results showed that the model was able to simulate initiation and propagation of fracture lines at the punch and die corners and the resultant break angle along the edge was found to be close to values observed in practice. Simulated edge geometry and microhardness were found to be in reasonable agreement with published experimental results for the steel plate considered although the model was unable to simulate double cutting at 0.8 per cent clearance. Results also suggest that edge hardness is independent of the starting ductility in the plate and that increasing the edge radii does not effectively simulate edge wear. Based on the results obtained, it may be concluded that the plane strain model is able to simulate plate shearing with sufficient accuracy in the range of normal process conditions.

ABSTRACTFixed-fixed beams are ubiquitous MEMS structures that are integral components for sensors and actuation mechanisms. However, residual stress inherent in surface micromachining can affect the mechanical behavior of fixed-fixed structures, and even can cause buckling. A self-tensioning support post design that utilizes the compressive residual stress of trapped sacrificial oxide to control the stress state passively and locally in a fixed-fixed beam is proposed and detailed. The thickness and length of the trapped oxide affects the amount of stress in the beam. With this design, compression can be reduced or even converted into tension. An analytical model and a 3D finite element model are presented. The analytical model shows relatively good agreement with a 3D finite element model, indicating that it can be used for design purposes. A series of fixed-fixed beams were fabricated to demonstrate that the tensioning support post causes a reduction in buckling amplitude, even pulling the beam into tension. Phase shifting interferometry deflection measurements were used to confirm the trends observed from the models. Controlling residual stress allows longer fixed-fixed beams to be fabricated without buckling, which can improve the performance range of sensors. This technique can also enable local stress control, which is important for sensors.
